Objective
Uncontrolled solidification at the refractory material is a fundamental problem, especially for near net shape casting processes where refractory parts are in close contact with the cold mould, roll or belt. This uncontrolled solidification leads to unacceptable defects or even to an interruption of the casting process. A possible means to avoid or reduce such problems is to heat the refractory material by induction also during the casting process. Thus suitable refractory materials as well as methods for their inductive heating must be developed in order to investigate the technical feasibility of this process.
